Since the US withdrawal and the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan in August 2021, the country has endured a deepening and increasingly deadly humanitarian crisis. Acute malnutrition is spiking across the country and 95 percent of households have been experiencing insufficient food consumption and food insecurity. At least 55 percent of the population is “expected to be in crisis or emergency levels of food insecurity” through March 2022, according to the United Nations. Humanitarian organizations have repeatedly issued warnings about the sheer scale of the crisis and how much worse it can get. Afghan children are starving to death nearly every day.
